Question

Q5.When two unequal resistors are connected in parallel in a circuit *​

Answer 1

Answer:

In parallel connection, all the elements are connected between same two points hence the voltage drop across any number of resistors or other elements connected in parallel is same. Hence C is correct.

Answer 2

Correct Question:

Two unequal resistances are connected in parallel. Which of the following statement is true?

• Current is same in both.

• Current is larger in higher resistance.

• Voltage drop is same across both.

• Voltage drop is lower than lower resistance.

Solution:

Let us consider that two resistance of magnitude R1 and R2 and connected in parallel combination in a circuit (such that R1 > R2):

Let the Potential difference supplied by the battery be V :

Now , in parallel combination , the battery supplies equal voltage drop along both the resistance irrespective of the magnitude of the resistance.

So, correct Option: 3)

Other options are eliminated:

• Current can't be same in both resistance because the magnitude of resistance is unequal.

• Current can't be higher in larger resistance as current is inversely proportional to resistance.

• Voltage drop is not lower in the lower resistance because both the resistance experience equal potential drop.
